Practical Attack Demonstrated Against Deprecated Cryptographic Hash

„We have broken SHA-1 in practice,“ wrote a group of researchers from the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica research center in Amsterdam and Google on Feb. 23. A research paper from CWI´s Marc Stevens and Pierre Karpman and Google´s Ange Albertini, Elie Bursztein and Yarik Markov says the group´s so-called „SHAttered attack“ can be used to compromise anything that relies on SHA-1.
